Abstract
The first bilateral lightwave network analyzer (BLNA) architecture that is capable of two-port S-parameter measurements is reported in this paper. A combined two-tier calibration is proposed and implemented for electrooptic and optoelectronic measurements. Calibrated measurement results showing the good performance of the BLNA for all types of lightwave components are also presented
